You’re running a bit cooler than expected. Whether it’s to the point of negative impacts, it doesn’t sound like it based on how it’s driving/shifting. if you’re concerned have a dealer check things out before things get significantly colder, cheap peace of mind.Lol thanks everyone.
Not that the transmission is "getting cold". Ambient temps are getting lower here and will only get lower. Right now it's about 35-40 in the mornings. But will get in the teens come December through February.
Again, I remote start and let the truck warm up for about 10 minutes before starting my commute. My commute is about 15 miles and takes about 30 minutes with a mix of residential, highway, freeway. When I reach my destination, my transmission temp reaches around 95-105. From the above reply, the normal operating temp is between 160 and 210. So my question comes from driving hard when it seems to be that cold. I know there have been issues with the valve body in the past and I didn't want to add to anything with me having to get up to freeway speeds and my trans is at 90 degrees still. It is not showing any signs of shifting wrong or anything. I am just being precautionary. I wanted to see others experience with commuting and how long it takes for it to get up to temp in colder weather.
Thanks again!
